Economics MCQ AS MICRO

I just did a Tutor2U quiz on 'Income and Cross Price Elasticity'.

A question was as follows:

A 20% rise in incomes brings a 25% in the bookings at hotels in Blackpool. This means:

- Hotels in Blackpool are inferior goods
- Hotels in Blackpool are a normal good
- Hotels in Blackpool have income elastic demand
- Hotels in Blackpool are a luxury product.

Surely the answer is part d.) as the income price elasticity of demand (responsiveness of the quantity demanded of the good or service following a change in real income) is >1?
Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown: Are you sure you've posted in the right place? :smile: Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses if you post there. :redface:

You can also find the Exam Thread list for A-levels here and GCSE here. :dumbells:


Just quoting in Puddles the Monkey so she can move the thread if needed :h:
